I totally agree. It would be like becoming Borg as a volunteer. Why would anyone want to be just like the worst of the worst? We must have higher standards than the criminal element. *banging head against wall*
no, no one suggests that, forwarding scammer calls to a 800number boiler room. one that Is paid for by scammers...some have loll-free call lines. if their call lines get tied up with junk calls, it would cost them money. with the benefit of a call blocker at the same time.
there is no stooping to their level, for we do not take money from the innocent....ever.
this is using technology to fight the scammers. It is robo justice.
If you have no life and choose to spend valuable time spam baiting, that is your choice. You are the one who has to live with yourself when it comes right down to it. You are the one who has to look yourself in the mirror and try to sleep at night after you have called a number that was spoofed and scare some innocent woman or child with your head games that give you some kind of thrill. There are pages and pages of reasons not to do it and I am tired of beating my head against the wall trying to explain how you could hurt someone. How would you feel if someone did this you your loved one for a cheap thrill or fun and games? Gee, here is a post I found explaining it. Why don't you try reading it again and grow an heart.
"I am still seeing posts on several numbers about forwarding scammers to spoofed numbers. What is not understandable about hurting innocent people by doing that? Isn't buying a call blocker a more adult and intelligent thing to do than engaging the telescammers in any kind of dialogue? If one does get thru my defenses, I hang up and just block the number. Is it the cost of the blocker? Give up a few movies and dinners out and you can afford one plus the free ones out there. There is so much good advice on the subject here I feel like we are banging our heads on a wall over and over, repeating the same advice. I can understand the human nature need to "get back" at the person who interrupted your dinner, but what kind of example is that for your kids? If everybody just took responsibility for themselves, used the DNC to screen out a lot of the calls and blocked the rest on their own, the telescammers would have nobody to call! They love to swear at the scam-baiters when they realize they have been caught. And I am starting to feel that the scam-baiters are getting some kind of thrill by doing the same thing. Sort of like they can't do it to their wife or their boss, so do it to the person on the phone, even if it is an innocent. I have called local numbers back but only to tell them that their number has been spoofed and to perhaps expect some nasty calls from people and I can tell you that many, many women have thanked me for the information about it and also about spoofing. If you are going to call back, do it as a public service, not as a vendetta."
Żal mi ciebie i tych, którzy dbają jak ty tak mało dla bliźniego.
I am thru with you people who are no better than the scammers. If you want to live as a low-life, go ahead explain it to your kids. Please do not respond to me again. Thank you. [:]
"you have called a number that was spoofed and scare some innocent woman or child with your head games "
can't read or do you simply choose not to??? no one does that? are you kidding?
your changing the facts lady.
it is a good thing to warn people that their number is spoofed but has nothing to do with what your arguing against? can you win a debate by changing the topic of the debate?
baiters don't call little old ladies we try to protect them.
notice: I haven't stooped to calling you names or say false things about you nor have I implied you have no life because you spend time trying to fight crime. I have not tried to make you look bad by changing the facts around. Although I may not like you, I do respect some of the things you do.
I really would like bigons to be bigons. Let's put an end of this. WE hate the scammers don't we? That's common ground enough.
You seem to have a reading comprehension problem. First the title of this thread is "Call Blocking Devices" Not Forward calls to other numbers or forward scam calls to 800 numbers, or any other variation your dense brain might try to come up with. "some have loll-free call lines. if their call lines get tied up with junk calls, it would cost them money. with the benefit of a call blocker at the same time." So what happens after a few days of these people getting these calls. Do you suppose that they are going to keep using that number? Because i certainly don't. What will happen to that number is that one day it might be assigned to an innocent party. Someone with a legitimate business. And then they will be receiving those calls, because 6 months or a year or two years down the line your suggestion will be floating around the internet and someone will see it. they will think your hair brained idea is a good one and start doing what you want them to do. At that point, then an innocent party will be harmed. I know that is hard for you to fathom out, but those are the cold hard facts. The fact is that by blocking the numbers, not picking up, not calling them back interrupts their cash stream very effectively. But then I am sure you don't agree with that statement, and can't wait to see your imbecilic response to this post.
"no one does that? are you kidding?" Seriously no one? You are absolutely sure of that statement? 100% sure? Then explain this: https://800notes.com/forum/ta-9f0ce767d8019be/a-different-spoofing-victim "I really would like bigons to be bigons." Bigons? Is that something sexual you are implying?
"Let's put an end of this." You are the one that keeps coming back here telling us that we must accept your method as the one and only true way to deal with this. You have posted here under multiple screen names, none of which are your registered screen name. You were the one who waited until late at night and stayed up to get your views posted because you figured no one would see them and that there were not as many of us around. Exactly what I had said earlier. Let us face the fact that you are a loser troll and trying to disrupt things. I am sure you won't agree with that, but you see I don't really care what you believe. As for calling us names and being disrespectful, yes you did, but those posts have all been deleted.
Wolfman, Pookie.. Absolutely spot on with what both of you posted. The fact that the multiple personality troll keeps coming back to talk or rather brag about ITs misuse of "call forwarding" on a thread marked "Call Blocking Devices" verifies ITs need for attention. I along with others here I will continue to ignore and give a thumbs down to EVERY post IT places from here on out. Tired of the misplaced comments and disregard to keep to the subject at hand.
Wolfman and Mr. Hand Grenade, ever notice, even when asked politely not to contact someone again, the trolls cannot help themselves but to contact that person again and again? It is like some kind of sickness or disease that compels them to continue. And yes, this forum was supposed to be about call blocking devices to bring peace of mind to potential victims, not make even more victims. I guess there must be a reading comprehension problem. Thank you. [:]
you are again posting under ANOTHER name, as if we are idiots and don't know it is the same troll. And making fun of a registered members name, yet. What is the matter, you cannot think of your own? Reported again so you won't be here long.
Yes Pookster, I do. Much the same as a child trying to get their parent's attention while that parent is in conversation. Rather than saying "excuse me" its, "Mom, mom, mom, mo, hey mom, mommy, mom-mom-mom.." However, that is a child who doesn't know any better. What you are dealing with is an attention seeking adult troll, much like an online stalker. No worries, Pook, myself and many others have your back.
